The hunt for dark matter has been on for many years. To trap the mysterious particles, physicists even go underground with their huge detectors. Researchers from the joint NSU and BINP laboratory have found a way to increase the sensitivity of such a detector manifold. They hope the principle proposed will help create a new, the most sensitive detector for trapping dark matter particles.
The Laboratory for studying ontology and epistemology of rationality, which is about to appear at the Philosophy Department, plans to study the rational basis of scientific knowledge and social activities.
A sudden drop in the diversity of species was caused by appearance of first animals.
The Natural Sciences Department at NSU launches a Laboratory of Structural Bioinformatics and Molecular Modeling. The new laboratory is going to analyze the structure of biological macromolecules and solve a whole range of fundamental and applied tasks using the methods of computer modeling and in-house algorithms and programs for predicting the spatial structure of biological polymers. The results obtained could be used in material engineering, bio- and nanotechnologies, medicine, etc.
Two NSU students, Marina Rakhmanova from the Natural Sciences Department and a graduate of the Economics Department, Anna Isakova, are busy developing a portable device for personalized diagnostics. It will quickly measure the level of female hormones to a nicety and predict the time of ovulation.
Researchers from NSU and the Institute of Archaeology & Ethnography SB RAS in collaboration with their colleagues from Yakutsk and Yekaterinburg identified the burial place of the mammoth. It was a small shallow freshwater pond with either stagnant or slowly moving water, the vegetation on the edges being odd for those times. The pond might have been a stamping ground.
Scholars from NSU and the Trofimuk Institute of Petroleum Geology and geophysics (SB RAS) have proved with facts and figures the existence of a paleocontinent named Arctida, which formed around one billion years ago, split apart and then came back together again.
Researchers from NSU and the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography SB RAS, who excavated the Strashnaya Cave in the Altai region, Russia, during the 2015 field season, found some anthropological materials (calcius) referring to the period of 35-50 thousand years ago.
